Uncoverings, the annual peer-reviewed journal of AQSG, features papers that present the most recent advances in quilt-related research. The cover of Volume 45 (2024) is The Mary Worrall Parry quilt, 1844-1845, and is inscribed with the names of a small group of families that were friends and neighbors in the Ridley Township, Delaware County, in southeast Pennsylvania.

"We're so appreciative for those who put the (virtual) Study Centers together... and thanks to those who attended. We not only had fun, but as is so often the case, the gathering together of such knowledgeable folks brought forth NEW REVELATIONS!
AQSG Rocks! Grateful!"
After seeing her story about a Vermont quilt printed as the lead story in the Fall 2019 issue of Blanket Statements, Kathy Metelica Cray posted on Facebook: “I am thrilled. Thank you, Sharon Pinka and Jill Wilson, for your guidance!” She offered this advice to other prospective authors: “If you hesitate to put an article in AQSG’s Blanket Statements, take that step. You will get an enormous amount of help and support and the reward is exhilarating!”
